Update your client (if you don't have 7.2.5 but a different one, like 7.1.5)

If you already have 7.1.5 (or any other version) all you need to do is download our launcher from below (check the WoW Freakz launcher section) into your wow folder and start launcher_freakz.exe to begin the update process. Don't worry if nothing happens, initial start will probably take 5-30 minutes (depending on your internet speed) until critical game data is updated. Don't open it multiple times, open it once and wait until it starts. At first you will probably have long loading screens because the client continues to download the 7.2.5 update in background, you will see a lot of "Downloading game data" while playing.

There's a chance your old interface files (addons/etc) might cause ingame interface/LUA errors. If you have a lot of them we recommend exiting the game, delete the Interface folder then redownload our launcher and extract all the files again

If you're getting Access is denied when trying to open the launcher this means your antivirus is blocking the launcher. You need to either disable your antivirus (including Windows Defender) or add launcher to antivirus allowed / exceptions list. Don't worry, there is no virus

Downloading full client (if you don't have any version)

There are 2 ways to download the Legion client:

Best way: using a torrent to get full client (use uTorrent for higher download speeds)
https://freakz.page.link/725_clientWARNING: After torrent download is done, be sure to remove READ ONLY from the Data folder, otherwise your game will crash at start.

Second way: download while you play

Spoiler:

(recommended for slow internet connections, not recommended if you don't want to experience poor video quality/long loading screens)
All you have to do is download the launcher from below (check the WoW Freakz launcher section) into a new folder then open launcher_freakz.exe. It will start downloading in the background without showing anything. Once it downloaded enough data (roughly 80MB) it will launch the game and you will be able to login, however the loading screens will be longer and video quality lower because the client will continue to download data in the background

WARNING! The download while play client may cause you a lot of problems (slow maps loading, long loading screens, 30-60 minutes initial wow opening time [you will open launcher_freakz.exe and nothing happens for 30-60 minutes until it downloads important data], etc), so use this only if you really can't download full client

One solution to the long loading screens is to add this line in your WTF\Config.wtf file

Code:

SET worldPreloadNonCritical "0"

Mac / Linux client

Currently we don't have any explicit client for Mac or Linux but you can use Wine emulation to use the windows client on Mac or Linux, more info here

In most of the cases it's enough to download our launcher in your 7.2.5 / 7.3.5 client and once you open the launcher it will automatically downgrade your wow version to our exact version, 7.2.5 24742

Errors at launch

The application has encountered a critical error: ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal exception! - There are multiple known causes:

Only for Windows 8 / Windows 10:

Press your windows key on the keyboard and search xbox. Open the xbox application and go through the initial setup if you haven't opened it before, takes less than 5 minutes. Then once in the main app click the SETTINGS gear. At the top it says General / Game DVR / Xbox One / Network / etc. Click on Game DVR and turn off Record game clips and screenshots using Game DVR

This is the windows key:

This is how the setting should look like:

If you also see an option Show Game bar when I play full screen games Microsoft has verified, uncheck it

This usually means your operating system doesn't support 64 bits application (or there is something wrong with your configuration). You can try deleting Wow-64.exe and launcher_freakz-64.exe (and maybe even launcher_freakz-64.dll) and start the game using launcher_freakz.exe. It might also mean you are using an old launcher, redownload it above

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

This can happen for many reasons, mostly related to your internet connection. First, try downloading this file http://eu.patch.battle.net:1119/wow/cdns, does it work? Most likely not, but do you get any useful error in your browser? If not:

You are behind a router and your ports are blocked. Easiest way do avoid this is set your computer as a DMZ zone (demilitarized zone). How to do this depends on your router, google enable DMZ YOUR_ROUTER_NAME. If you can't do that but you know how to unblock ports, check the next step

If you are in a public network with ports blocked and no access to the router you will have to contact your network administrator and tell him tu unblock the following TCP ports: 1111-1119, 1129, 8001-8009, 8019, 8085, 8086

You may have some strange DNS overrides (etc/hosts) from playing on other servers, be sure to delete them if you remember doing this

If you still can't fix it, you can also try the solution from The CAS system was unable to initialize / failed fetching the CDN configuration file / E_NOT_AVAILABLE,
the one with the config folder delete/download

There was a problem launching wow.exe, make sure this launcher is in your wow directory

Spoiler:

You probably have WoW in a folder/path with strange/non-english characters or with a too long name, try moving WoW to a clean path, like D:\Games\WoW\

"Access is denied" error when trying to open the launcher / the launcher disappears from the folder

Spoiler:

This means your antivirus is blocking the launcher. You need to either disable your antivirus (including Windows Defender) or add launcher to antivirus allowed / exceptions list. Don't worry, there is no virus

You have a very old account, then all you need to do is login once on the main website https://www.wow-freakz.com/ then you should be able to login ingame

You have been disconnected. (BLZ51914001 / BLZ51914002 / BLZ51914003)

This usually means a connection cannot be established to our login realms. Possible causes:

Your firewall is blocking connections, deactivate it
